16Again

yip, eye contact is good and a trip to the toilet. how did the gig go??

I'm really struggling to nail the bassline for Dead Kennedys track, Too drunk to f*ck!! My pinky just wont do what i want it to do I spent years learning to play Hit me with your rythmn stick and managed to get a version of it going but it probably nowhere near what it's supposed to be like. i put it on youtube, but lookin at some of the bassists playing it on there....i'm crap at it. have a look if you like [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQki_sm-Bu4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQki_sm-Bu4[/url]

magic, cheers guys. i'll just have to work out how to save settings on my bass floor pod, i know it's good all those effects mentioned, so here's hoping!

This has probably been on here before but does anyone know what effect is used for the bassline of the Muse song Plug in baby? The cover band i've just joined is wanting to do it, can i get those effects through a bass floor pod? i've never really used effects before but bought a floor pod! Anyone??

i get the same with my ricky! Sweatband is the way to go!

i cant beat whigfield (i'd like to though) The bands i've supported in the past; Then jerico Hawkwind Mann Gun Feeder The Silencers Angelfish and more recently with my punk covers band; The Beat 999 The Damned UK subs Dead Kennedys SLF.

I f*ck up regularly at practices and try and throw in a few at gigs One of the bands i'm in does punk covers and during one gig i'd been playing 'rockaway beach' verse by the ramones and everyone else has been playing 'judy is a punk' and they never noticed, i noticed just in time for the chorus i regularly have trouble with my mind wandering during Ramones songs cause they're so basic, great fun though..... if you play the same tune as everyone else in the band! d.

aye aye loon, foo's yer doo's? pearl jam tribute, i'd like to see that! d.

Yip, that is one beautiful bass.

i've just put the bass pod xt i bought when drunkinly looking through ebay thinking it was an xt live! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=016&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=260142649088&rd=1&rd=1"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...p;rd=1&rd=1[/url] D.

Ohh well, i went onto ebay and bought a Bass POD XT, stupidly thinking it was a XT Live, thats what you get when you go onto ebay after a night out. What a cock i am! Anyone want to buy an XT? D.

[quote name='steve' post='35587' date='Jul 22 2007, 04:04 PM']not a fan of rics or fenders , but the hohners are cool[/quote] cheers Steve, the Hohners have a bloody great sound and are the most comfortable bass's i've ever worn, i'd recommend them to anyone.

Just looked it up on youtube. I never knew that! I just wish Mr Lynott wore his bass lower! It's so much cooler lookin lower.

I've never really been a fan of effects but i've just got into a band that'll probably need some and i was thinking of a Line 6 xt live but is it worth the money compared to a few stompers and a tuner? What do you guys think? Anyone got one??? cheers, Davie.

[quote name='simon1964' post='32754' date='Jul 16 2007, 10:21 PM']Nice collection. That Ric looks fantastic.[/quote] cheers Simon, it took alot of overtime at work to get the cash together! I suppose it's the Rickenbacker Phil Lynott would have had if he had one

Nice. Pure evil!
